It also features the World Trade Center (with panoramic views on the observation deck); Port Discovery, a hands-on children’s museum; informative Baltimore Maritime Museum; and numerous shops and restaurants.

Explore some of Baltimore’s 200-plus neighborhoods, from the museums, shops and restaurants of Mount Vernon to the bustling former maritime community of Fell’s Point and the authentic dining in Little Italy.

Revel in the quirkiness of the American Visionary Art Museum, which celebrates the work of self-taught, outsider or overlooked artists. The museum also hosts theme-based exhibits on varied topics.
